📘 Lesson Goals & Teacher Notes

I can... analyze percentages of numbers, compute percent increase and decrease, and work backwards to find original values.

Success criteria: I can (1) find a percent of a number using multiplication or proportion, (2) calculate percent change and label increase vs decrease, (3) reverse a percent change to find an original amount.

Differentiation strategies: Offer step-by-step guides and calculators for students who need support; provide worked examples and sentence frames for writing explanations; allow extra time and one-on-one checks for students who struggle.

Extension activities: Ask advanced learners to analyze two successive percent changes (e.g., +20% then -15%) and explain why the net change is not additive; explore percent problems with decimals and larger numbers.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: Provide a printed version with larger font, increased spacing, and high-contrast text; give audio instructions or read problems aloud; break tasks into smaller steps.
